I stayed at Taviras's place for about three weeks, and had a very comfortable stay. It felt like home! The apartment is new and cosily-furnished, and has everything that you need (good wifi, kitchen - with microwave, kettle, and utensils, air-conditioning). There is a small table that you could also use for work. The pool is hardly ever used and so feels very much like a personal pool! The apartment is located on a quiet and residential lane - but there is no shortage of local street food, small restaurants, mom and pop grocery stores and convenience stores in the area. For larger supermarket/malls/cafes you will probably need to use public transport. While the apartment is not within walking distance from the BTS station (especially in Bangkok's hot weather), it is easy enough to get to the station by motorbike taxi (5 minutes, 40 baht). Or for a cheaper and probably safer option that many locals use, it is possible to flag down small vehicles that run up and down Sukhumvit 71 - these vehicles can carry up to 10 people in the back and cost a flat fare of 7 baht to and from the BTS station (about 10 minutes if traffic is good). Just a note: the location of the apartment on Google Maps is not quite accurate, so if you're arriving for the first time, note that the apartment complex is actually just beyond a large serviced apartment complex called Alberry Place, and the entrance is located on Soi Phanit Anan Yaek 7. Overall, I had a great stay. Taviras is a very responsive and helpful host who replies to messages quite quickly, and will be able to sort out any issues you might encounter.
